peter- thanks

hey Tiny....my "wheel bible" are the same as shown on Zauber site....

do you think 19x8.5 +36 high disk would work too?

thanks

tinygs

Well, if you stick with a 245 tire, the wheel/tire will only move 7mm more than mine towards the street. Its hard for me to tell by looking if 7mm would make any difference. I dont think it would......This should also give the front wheel a hair more lip also.....

I had a 18x8.5 with a Kuhmo 245/40 with a +31 offset on the front of the ride. It stuck out well past the outer edge of the fender. I bet some of the other 245's out there are meatier than the Kuhmo also. I would say that it stuck out about 4-5mm. Soooo....youd be REALLY pushing it with +36. I would think that there may be some rub too.

Its the oposite....aggs400

I'd stay above a 38+ unless you get an 8.5 or smaller width

Ag02M5

No....I meant that the +31 was completely unacceptable to me and the +36 would sit right underneath the edge of the fender...too close in my book.

Thanx.

Will - no problem!!!! Wheel guys are supposed to help each other out.

Yes, i think it will be fine. +36 is as low as I would run on that car.

GS4Will

dude...did you had one too many at happy hour? :eek:

they are 19x8.5+10....

Ag02M5

Actually 19x9.5. Oops.

Thanks Will.

Late.

So are the rears 9.5 or 10"???????????????
You say 9.5", Will said 10"....heeheeheehee
Congrats man!!! Just wait, this wheel has ALOT more going for it in person than in pictures....You will like them even more!!!

Ag02M5

I went with the 9.5" I really didn't want to mod the fender with the car being pretty new. I could have done the 10" with a 275 but I like the square look. I think the 9.5 will still look pretty aggressive and have hella lip. Went with the +43 in front. I hope that is going to fill the wheel well enough. It looks good enough in your pics. Do you wish you had done the +36?

I'll let you know how I like them, but they look SWWWWEEEEETTTT in your pics so I can only imagine.

Take it easy.

IMHO, you chose the correct front offset. I previously had an 8"+35 SSR Integral w/245mm tire. It stuck out a bit too much to the street side for my taste. An 8.5" would be another 5mm toward the street. I REALLY think +43 is better in front...
On the rear, 9.5" or 10" is fine...Its just the tire cant exceed a 275 using the +41 offset. Is the 9.5" a +41 also???

Ag02M5

Whew.

Thanks for putting me at ease. I like an aggressive fit but I do not care for the Japanese "let's put a huge wheel and a skinny tire to roll up under the fender so it fits sorta look".

I also heard the Potenzas are on the wide side as well.

For rear, the 9.5" is also a +41. If I used the 285 tire, in theory, it would still rub. The 275 is only going to come in 5 mm from what you have leaving about 3 mm of clearance without mod. I think it will look tough...esp compared to the stock sunken in look.

Thanks for all your help Tiny...esp since I am getting the same wheel.

Hopefully it won't turn into another Dronell!

FYI...I heard U.S. retail on these is $3600!!!! Grey-market rules!

Take it easy.
